The wood heater under evaluation is fueledwith kindling, pre-burn fuel and a test fuel load. Each test runis a hot-to-hot cycle. Individ
25、ual test runs are conducted at burnrates ranging from low to maximum burn rates. The fuel loadconfiguration is determined based on the usable firebox volumeof the heater plus the firebox dimensions and geometry.Kindling and crumpled newspaper are used to ignite a pre-burnfuel load(s) that is burned
26、to heat the wood heater to normaloperating temperature and to establish a charcoal bed. The testfuel load is placed on the charcoal bed and given time to ignitebefore the air control(s) is (are) set to the test run condition.When the full weight of the test fuel load has been burned, thetest run is
27、terminated. Burn rate is determined based on theweight of the test fuel load divided by the length of test run andcorrected to a dry fuel basis. Particulate sampling begins beforethe test fuel load is added and stops when the test runterminates. The total particulate emissions are determined overthe
28、 test run length. The particulate emissions rate is thendetermined from the total particulate emissions divided by thelength of the test run and is reported in grams of particulate perhour. The particulate emission factor may also be determinedfrom the total particulate emissions divided by the dry
29、basisweight of the test fuel load and is reported in grams ofparticulate per dry kilogram of fuel. This test method may alsobe used in conjunction with CSA B415.1 for determining heatoutput and efficiency. If heat output is determined, particulateemissions per unit of heat delivered may also be calc
30、ulated andis reported in grams of particulate per megajoule.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is used for determining emission ratesand emission factors for wood heaters.5.1.1 The emission factor is useful for determining emissionperformance during product development.5.1.2 The emission fa
31、ctor is useful for the air qualityregulatory community for determining compliance with emis-sion performance limits.5.1.3 The emission rate may be useful for the air qualityregulatory community for determining impacts on air qualityfrom wood heaters.5.2 The reporting units are grams of particulate p
32、er hour,grams of particulate per kilogram of dry fuel and grams ofparticulate per megajoule of heat output.5.2.1 Appropriate reporting units for comparing emissionsfrom all types of solid fuel fired appliances: g/kg.5.2.2 Appropriate reporting units for predicting atmosphericemission impacts: g/h or
33、 g/MJ.5.3 The fuel load specified in this test method is a lumbercrib of uniform dimensions, identical to that specified in EPAMethod 28. Cribs were specified in EPA Method 28 to providea reproducible and repeatable test method. In normal operationthe majority of fuel used by consumers is cordwood w
34、ithirregular shapes and dimensions. Very little data exists toindicate whether or not the fuel cribs specified in this standardyield results that are predictive of performance using cordwoodfuel. This standard, therefore, includes Annex A1 whichprovides a fueling procedure using cordwood. It is prov
35、ided sothat those interested in measuring emissions performance withcordwood will have a consistent method to follow. A compara-tive database using the two fueling procedures will providedata to determine whether test results using crib fuel correlateto test results using cordwood fuel.6. Safety6.1
